This is my favorite video of yours yet! Also, it is a sad and fitting end to a career of the greatest legend of country since Hank Williams Senior.

Trent Reznor is quoted as saying “the song belongs to him now” after seeing the powerful music video. NIN closes every concert with Hurt, it’s a masterpiece and that is why Cash was attracted to it.

I've taken on this song as a personal anthem. My health is failing, mostly mental health but the rest is not far behind. I chase everyone away. I hirt them. I bring them down. But I'm grateful for this. A sadder story I have never heard.

As emotional as this song is, i feel it's not meant to be a sad one. It's to mark a journey. A milestone.

My dad was a Cash fan. And because of that I never paid attention, until this song / album. Now, Man in Black, The Wonderer and A man comes around are my favourite songs.

There is no video/song any sadder than Big John's iconic "Hurt" 🙏 RIP John & June ✝️

I am too young to really appreciate the work and of times of Johnny Cash. However, I found this particular video purely by chance, and was tempted to either fast-forward through most of it, or just move away and find a far more appropriate song for my tastes. But for whatever reason, I watched the video in full, and OMG it drew me in so quickly. Cash's fragile voice gripped my heart, and the pounding guitar strings and piano hit me like someone beating on my soul. I never knew the man, his songs or his career. And yet after listening to this song I feel like I've known him all my life, just like a distant uncle. I cry when I play this song. I really don't know why, but I cry and cry. Whether this is a sad song or a reflection on his career, it matters not to me because I absolutely adore it, and has taught me to live life and appreciate it to the full before its all too late. Thank you, Johnny (and his wife). RIP xx

My son hated county music his whole life till this song by Johnny came out. To my astonishment he went out and bought every one of his cds he could get his hands on. Lol.

I heard that Trent, the original writer of the song, after hearing Johnny's version said 'it's not my song anymore'.... It became Johnny, and Johnny became the song.

I knew this was NIN's song first but damn this remake is good. One of the best covers ever

While I was too young to experience this great legend, my father-in-law has very fond memories of Johnny Cash. He loved to come up to Saskatchewan, Canada and spend time fishing in La Ronge.

a song that has a sad before and after being made.

Few songs make me feel so deeply. Thanks for this video. Interesting to hear some of the backstory that I didn’t know.

Hurt is my favourite video of Johnny Cash. Its as deep as his voice and strong as his legacy.

Rubin actually came up with the idea, Johnny needed convincing first and Trent was angry when he found out about the song until he saw the video. Easy interviews to find this stuff actually

Hold up from my understanding Rick Rubin is the one who asked Johnny Cash if he wanted to do the song.

I cried the first time I saw the video and heard the song I always feel my chest tighten up but I know this song is a reflection of his journey through life.

One of my favorite Johnny Cash songs is, "I Hung My Head"

Amazing and speechless.. I cannot cry when listening to this song

Wow I love Johnny, that is an awesome recording of a beautiful song, I have cried every time I have played.

This song make's me depressed and my whole body just goosebumps 🎭

This is a great video. When you mentioned that his wife was looking into the distance, I thought that she was lovingly looking at him, seeing his pain and feeling sympathetic, which was sadly ironic since her passing was close to the filming. It also seems a bit ironic that about halfway in between their deaths was the last time he did a live performance. I love some of his music, but I have to say Hurt was definitely my favorite. Even though it was a cover, Trent Reznor himself said that it became his song when he watched the music video.

A sad song for sure. Keep on moving people we only move forward. Something this song taught me. We should not have regrets as hard as that might be.

I really wish you kept the focus of this video on the subject. I get that you guys want to advertise your own content, but sometimes it's better to tell just one story. RIP Johnny You gave us all a proper send off, and I will be front row at the first show in the sky that I can make it to. And I'll be fashionably late, no need to rush.

When this video came out onto MTV it was not only daunting to Johnnys life & June's but, a end to an entire era being not long after MTV began reality shows the music videos had begun being played less it surely put a end to the old celebrities as well as my generation Baby Boomers had now been nearing 40s I can honestly say despite where Technology is today there will never be another time to have been alive on earth than the 60s throughout the 90s " Never " the things today are so isolated its scarey . I myself never thought I'd be speaking like my late grandparents, parents , aunts & uncles on that note I'll end with life is short before you know it your old sure we say enjoy it while you can but by the time you get to retire your torn and turned grey lucky to have a few yrs to enjoy your fruits of labor. Enjoy your life every minute is precious.. Wherever, the Cashs are I sure hope its as beautiful as promised. Amen 🖤🙏🏻🖤 Thank you for doing this video . 🤘🤘🤘

Greatest music video ever created. One of the most powerful pieces of media ever created.

Johnny Cash isn't just one of the greatest country artists. He's one of the greatest artist of all time, out of any genre.

I have loved Johnny Cash since I was a kid , I am now almost 68, and it hits close to home for me, in my own journey of time. This video breaks me down every time. There was another song , that Johnny did about addiction " Sunday Morning coming down " written by Chris Kristofferson .By Cash doing that ,he jump started Kristofferson career .

R.I.P. Johnny Cash The Greatest Musician Of All Time!

My dad was a faithful Cash fan, He had all his songs. The one we would listen to was "one piece at a time" and when I listen to it I remember doing this with my dad. Lately I have been reflecting on life and how life is going by so fast, and when I saw this video, I could not help but shed a few tears. Thank you for sharing

This is great, except Cash didn't reach out to NIN to do the cover, Rick Rubin did.

Rebecca Strong's cover of Sober always gets me everytime too.

Best video of all time. Such a great song, great cover, great production. When you google what art is, I'm almost positive this is what will not pop up. But it should.

I never listened to his music until this song came out!!!! I loved it!!!!!!! & learned to love several other song by him!!!!

Simply the best music video ever

Legendary Mr Johnny Cash who was by multiple generations before mine regardless for me I hold him really close to my soul’s deepest treasures!!!!!

This is my fav vid of yours yetttt!!! :)

Heart wrenching. I feel this song .

Cash's career legitamately got a vikings sendoff with the last physical remnants of his life burned to ashes. the only thing we have now is his music and this last song.

George Jones's 'Choices' is also a very sad song I heard recently, just like this one.

I don't know if it's the saddest song of all time, but I cry every time I hear and see it.

His American Recording CD series is a must. I was never a fan of his until I heard them all. Hurt being one of the amazing songs he recorded. Everything has been said about Hurt, I must say it brakes me apart everytime I listen to it. I select the time when I do, it's that special.

i love ghost riders in the sky by johnny cash

What have I become? My dearest friend. Everyone I know, goes away, in the end. So you can have it all, my empire of dirt.

I like this song by Johnny Cash Hurt I could listen to it over and over good song 🎵 🙂

BEST VIDEO EVER!

Whoa. Saw Johnny once. Selland Arena, Fresno, 1974. June was great when she joined in, but it was all Johnny. It was one of the 1st concerts he sang Ragged Old Flag. The roof about blew off. I cried a bit. Fantastic. Colin

This Hurt, the Johnny Cash version and the Goo Goo Doll Irish are my two saddest songs. Especially the latter as it was my friends funeral song. He was just 19 year old when he passed away. And that was 12 years ago, whenever I hear that one song I immediately think of Danny

"Asleep" from The Smiths ist also very very sad.

amazing

"that song isn't mine anymore" -Trent Reznor Hurt is my favourite song, by far...

This song say it all

Thanks for the video, but there are a few common misconceptions that you might want to correct in the interest of accuracy. The "House of Cash"---despite the misleading name---was never lived in by any of the Cash family. It was an unauthorized museum in Hendersonville, Tennessee, devoted to the life and work of Johnny Cash. Cash and his wife lived nearby at 200 Caudill Drive in Hendersonville, TN, which was his lakeside home from 1968 until his death in 2003. Also, the "House of Cash", the setting for much of the "Hurt" video, did not burn down, but his real home did; in accordance with Cash's will, his long-time home at 200 Caudill Drive was sold after his death in 2003. Barry Gibb of Bee Gees fame purchased the property; while it was under renovation it burned down in an accidental fire in 2007. The official, authorized museum dedicated to Johnny Cash is located in Nashville. It opened in 2013. To complicate things a bit further, there's another place dedicated to the life and music of Johnny Cash called the Storytellers Hideaway Farm and Museum, located in Bon Aqua, TN; it opened in 2016 on the former 107-acre farm of Cash's. Again, your video was interesting, but I think a re-recording of the narration might be something to consider.

Im almost scared to watch it now.

Funny, I yawn on the NIN version. The Cash version is awesome.

A sad song that has had an unexpected happy ending (because of the video and the publicity the video got) is "Monsters" by James Blunt.

I think its cool that nine inch nails let him cover this

would you please make a video about Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart. The sad suicide of Tommy boys. Nobody else has covered this anywhere on KZfaq. Thank you, Sal

Try on "Sam Stone" or "The Great Society Conflict" by John Prine. Truly a sad song about a Vietnam veteran that is underrated and overlooked.

Amazing that their house went down in a Ring of Fire

it’s not sad, it’s beautiful

This song can only be truly understood by a very specific type of person.

The only music video approaching the emotions of Johnny's is David Bowie, "Lazarus"

Saturday morning coming down, lots of others

I listened to the 9 inch nails version. That one is hollow. It is just a song. It has no soul. I was actually shocked when I first heard the 9 inch nails version.

Mike Campbell (acoustic guitar) and Benmont Tench (piano, organ, mellotron) of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers played on the track. Smokey Hormel also played guitar on the track.

Beautiful song. The theme is very reflective of life and its reality....

My favorite songs by Johnny Cash. Studio recorded songs: 1.) Folsom Prison Blues (my number one favorite) 2.) Tennessee Flattop Box 3.) Train of Love 4.) Next In Line 5.) I Walk The Line Live Performances 1.) Five Feet High and Rising (Star Route USA) 2.) Sunday Morning Coming Down (Tennessee State Prison) (There's a whole lot more but these are what I put down off the top of my head)

If you love Johnny Cash as much as I do you have to watch the documentary on tubi... I watched it last night and I was crying and smiling through the whole documentary... and I learned he passed away from type 2 diabetes and I also have diabetes so I started crying again... music watch this! Fly high Cash ❤🙏❤

Who...anywhere...ever...didn't know this was a Nine Inch Nails song?

I hope everyone chases god and opens their heart to him

"Thats the way it is" Its an RDR2 ingame song, but it still punches the soul

So amazing, I didn't know about June, that's sad.. I just remember enjoying seeing her in the video in real time as well as in many decades ago in the flashbacks during. Just her look as she stands over \ behind him, something raw and could not be acted anyone. Quick take... NIN being one of my all time favs too especially since Trent is so freaking talented, IN THE NIN VERSION< TRENT WROTE THE SONG FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF A YOUNG EARLY 20's HEROIN ADDICT DEALING WITH LOSS AND EITHER SUBCONC OR EMOTIONALLY PUSHING PEOPLE AWAY> ITS MEANT TO SHOW HOW HARD IT IS SO EARLY IN LIFE TO LOOK FOR A BETTER WAY WHEN THINGS ARE BLEEK> WHEN JOHNNY TWEAKED IT AND PUT A WHOLE LOT OF THAT NON FAKE JUST MOJO IN THIS IT WAS REVERESED< INSTEAD OF A YOUNG MAN TRYING TO LOOK ON A WAY FORWARD> ITS AN ELDERLY MAN LOOKING BACK ON HIS LIFE AT THE END AND FEELING SAD BUT ALSO ASHAMED. AT THE NEED FOR MATERIAL THINGS OR STATUS TRENT SAYS THIS WAY TOTALLY WORKED AND IT BECAME HIS SONG> LOVE YA JOHNNY KEEP HANK AND AARON AND ALL THEM COMPANY TIL WE MAKE IT UP THERE TOO ;) sorry hit caps lock and didny want to retype in lowercase, so there's that... anyone else get those almost teary moments from mainly the flashbacks or old films in this video too? or the dumping of the wine glass is pretty cool as he looks at the camera eye level and fwd.. I need to look up this director too awesome but I hated seeing them have to lift Johnny up just to film this, uber sad but thanks for this amazing song its already got me through quite a bit, ciao.

Trent Reznor also composed some of the main themes of Black ops 2

Listen to I hung my head. In my opinion it is sadder. But both are good.

RIP to the Cashes

Johnny Cash didn’t just cover this song by NIN, he owned it. He then took it to his grave. It rests there with him now, where everyone we know, goes away in the end..

The music Videos for Johnny Cash’s Hurt and David Bowie’s Lazarus are some of the saddest, depressing and emotionally disturbing pieces of musical visual art in my opinion.

After hearing the story behind the music video, it makes its use in the first trailer for the 2017 movie Logan even more sense. In Logan, Wolverine's health was declining as his healing factor was getting weaker and for decades it was fighting Adamantium poisoning but by the end of the film Wolverine's healing factor was basically gone and he was mortality wounded by his clone X-24

Which one wouldn’t you like? I haven’t heard one I didn’t like. Great man

Skeeter Davis - The End of the World is the saddest song ever!

If you want to know the saddest song I've ever known that's embodied most of the pain I've had in my life it's Atreyu moments Before Dawn give it a listen if you've ever been haunted all night and couldn't sleep or waited for someone to care who was never going to even waiting for yourself to care I played this song every morning at 4:00 a.m. didn't sleep a wink all night was drunk all day without touching a drink from the time I was 13 to the time I was 23 I was drinking myself to death

Portishead-Roads is one of the saddest as well

Dang I miss Johnny

Trent may have written it but Cash made it his own.

Check out' Tear stained letter ' and 'Papa was a good man ' --------- from album A thing called Love many years ago

I like this Johnny cash song it makes me feel & think about all the fuck ups iv made in my own life & the destruction taken drugs has. However I like a few of johnny cash's songs like cocaine blues & a boy named sue that's a pukka song

The background about him I already know. I'm 63. The other stuff the lady is narrating is not relative because she goes all over the place and speaks in question marks after every word????????????????? which is VERY Aggravating. She should narrate little girl books

hey, i know I'm a bit late, but i want to say that the favorite cover song from Johnny Cash i heard was I won't back down.

Life is painful

Yes

The best song Johnny ever did was Hurt to this all will learn

I do no think it was the House Of Cash that burned. It was the one by the lake on Caudill Drive.

Ring of fire

Perhaps, but along with Tom Wait's "Georgia Lee".

Everybody knows that The Cure’s A Chain Of Flowers is the saddest song ever

Bruh why do I feel like Johnny cash and I’m only 15😭it’s not fair man

Immortal technique dance with the devil is the saddest song

That sucks bro, that really sucks I thought that was his original

Mercy Street by Peter Gabriel was a beautiful and sad song.
